My wife needs a new laptop. Being a woman, her only criteria is that it's pink.

Problem is that I think that hp and dell are the only ones making pink laptops. I'd rather not get one of those due to the shifts they're making to software. It makes me nervous for their hardware lines...

Ok, so I need a little help here. The spec I need is that it needs to be below £400 and she doesn't want a smaller screen, so it needs to be above 17".

Yeah, because I find I really can't get anything done without reading my BIOS source code. If only my BIOS was open -- then I'd have the freedom to program, browse the web, watch videos, listen to music, play games, talk to friends, and have an awesome time.

Oh wait, I already have those freedoms. Because my definition of "freedom" is much more sensible than yours

Mike, I'd already figured you didn't respect user freedom, as I've noticed your articles in "Linux Format" -- or what I've recently taken to calling "GNU/Linux Format" -- are released under a non-free font.
